Simon cooks a summer lunch for four. The season is a special time to enjoy many ingredients at their very best. To start there's a bloody Mary to fire up the taste buds. The first course is pork rillettes, followed by a warm salad of leek and shrimp. The main course is a cool and summery assembly of poached salmon, peppery watercress salad and buttery new potatoes. And to round things off, a fabulous ice cream flavoured with the freshness of basil. Last in the series. Dir: Jason Lowe; Series Prod: Nicola Pointer; Exec Prod: Simon Knight; Prod Co: Ricochet
